Est: £1,000 - £1,500
BENJAMIN ZOBEL (GERMAN / BRITISH, 1762-1831): A RARE MARMONTINTO SAND PAINTING OF A LEOPARD ATTACKING A WILD HORSE, 1823 oil / sand/ gummi arabicum on panel, monogrammed to the lower left corner 'BZ', formed of coloured sand, mounted in a mahogany veneered, glazed frame, verso: on panel handwritten inscribed, titled and dated 1823 61cm wide x 43cm high excluding frame, Benjamin Zobel was one of the leading exponents of sand pictures which remained a popular item until the mid-19th century. Zobel came to England from Bavaria and was initially employed as a 'Table-Decker' at Windsor Castle before he began to make his now famous sand pictures. Marmontinto is the art of creating pictures using coloured sand or marble dust and otherwise known as sand painting. Originating in Europe, and based on the Japanese craft of bonseki, marmontinto was popular in England following a 1783 dinner party given by George III at Windsor Castle who was so taken with a display of coloured sands and marble dust executed by the Bavarian table-decker Benjamin Zobel, a friend of George Morland, a painter prominent in the ‘Isle of Wight School’. The King and his courtiers encouraged Zobel to create a more lasting artform and they were so impressed with the resulting pictures that the craft of marmotinto was born and proved most successful under the patronage of various members of the royal household including the then Duke of York.

BENJAMIN ZOBEL (German/British, 1762-1831) Vulture and Serpent in a Woodland Sand painting on panel, 56 x 40cm Signed with initials 'BZ' Benjamin Zobel was born in Germany in 1762. His father was reputed to be a master pastry chef and the family ran a confectionery business in Bavaria. At the age of eighteen Zobel travelled to Amsterdam, where he studied painting for several years, before moving to London. His first job in the English capital was working as a designer of wallpapers, linens and silks for the Ecchard Brothers of Chelsea. Not long after Zobel was employed by the Prince Regent's chef and became a `Table Decker' at Windsor Castle.Table Decking was a fashion created during George III rule and involved elaborately decorating a table cloth with designs of coloured sands, marble dust, powdered glass or bread crumbs to create pictures and motifs. These painstaking images would then be removed with the table cloth at the end of the meal. The King suggested making longer lasting pictures and Zobel created a process using coloured sand fixed to wood or board using glue to make permanent paintings. Influence by the work of his friend George Morland, Zobel's sand-paintings often feature animals and country scenes.
